Show Notes
We speak with Oskar Rundqvist, co-founder and CEO of eComID, about the shift from search-and-filter to conversational discovery, why “the interface becomes the store,” and how brands can retain data, loyalty, and margins with on-site AI agents.
AI is changing how people shop. With large language models introducing in-feed browsing and even checkout, customer journeys risk completing off-site. eComID’s response is to bring conversational discovery onto brand domains and connect first-party signals across a network of retailers, blending size/fit intelligence to cut returns and improve trust.
In this episode, Rundqvist explains why the classic search bar is “on borrowed time,” how cross-brand data can create a shopper “passport,” and why fully agentic purchasing makes sense for staples but not for style-led fashion.
